The training camp to prepare for the ODI series against West Indies will start from tomorrow in Lahore.

Players part of the squad will train at the National High-Performance Center (NHPC) and LCCA Ground as new pitches continue to lay down at the Gaddafi Stadium.

Supporting staff, including head coach Saqlain Mushtaq, batting coach Mohammad Yousuf and bowling coach Shaun Tait will also be active in honing the cricketers' abilities.

Haris Rauf and Shadab Khan, who are presently playing county cricket in the United Kingdom, will arrive tomorrow and will join the camp from the next day.

Remember, the second phase of the conditioning camp of 45 cricketers is also underway at the NHPC. The schedule has been designed so that both camps will continue at different times.

The players selected for the series against West Indies will start their net sessions in the afternoon.

It must be noted that the series has been shifted from Rawalpindi to Multan. Pakistan's squad will reach the host city on June 5 while the Caribbeans will arrive in a chartered plane from Islamabad on June 6. The series starts from June 8.
